This is a matter of window manager configuration. Most windows
only do this in click-to-focus mode, so if you switch
to pointer or sloppy focus (all true-blooded X users would
use one of those anyways ;-) you won't have that problem.

You might also be able to configure your window manager in
click-to-focus mode to only raise a window on button release,
or not to raise focused windows.
